Meet The Managers

Vicky has spent her working life cooking meals for children and local communities. She is passionate about providing healthy, nutritious food to anyone who comes through the door of the cafe, regardless of their financial status, and also about offering a good service. Vicky enjoys baking and gardening in her spare time. 

Vicky worked within the pharmaceutical industry for many years then moved to work within the catering industry. She had a passion for baking and was learning to roast coffee. This led to her setting up her own mobile catering and coffee business, which ran for many years until the pandemic. Her business was often seen supporting many of the local community events within Dover and East Kent, and extended to donating excess food and stock to local charities.

Noel has spent several years involved in Church leadership, most notably in Christians Together in Dover, where he was instrumental in the setting up of Dover Street Pastors and Dover Foodbank. His work life began on a farm and ended as an Estates Manager for a quarrying business. He has a love for Dover and wants it to fulfil its potential.

Judith runs a pharmaceutical Consultancy with her husband. She was the leader of the Dover Soup Kitchen for over ten years up to its closure in 2020. She also was instrumental in helping to set up Dover Pantry and continues to be part of its management team.
